“Trump has taken something from America that will never fully be recovered.

He has stolen national greatness by incinerating national goodness.

He has bent the arc of history toward cruelty and injustice.

He has repudiated the ideals of the American Revolution in both word and deed.

He has assaulted government of the people, by the people and for the people. He has sought repeatedly to incinerate the Constitution itself.

Donald Trump is the greatest threat to the American republic since the Confederacy.”
